NDX 02/21/2011 (Presidents Only)

Share:Twitter Facebook Reddit

There's no apostrophe in "Presidents Day," is there? Anyway, let's get to flexin', dude!

It's Presidents Day here in the United S of A, which means that most of the things you need to get done are impossible to do because a bunch of stuff is closed! Annoying, right? I'm surprised that I could even get a pizza sent here. OK, I'm lying, I keep the "pizza holiday schedule" taped to the side of my monitor.

This week we've got a Virtual Console release, some DSi releases, some WiiWare business, and some broken promises on the part of a guest!

Your conductor, as always, is the unreasonable Jeff Gerstmann!

Ways to listen:

iTunes: HERE (be sure to subscribe as listening from this page is an unreliable way to get the latest)
RSS: HERE
MP3: HERE

Next week is GDC, where developers off all types get together and talk shop. I'll once again be on the scene, looking for DSiWare developers and hassling them about the inevitable My Exotic Farm sequel.

Guys, the oversaturation of fireplace simulators has to stop soon, or else it will end up the same as the music genre, WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN

My favorite puns are ones about monorails. They always make for decent one liners.

Speaking of trains, CHOO CHOO, BABY!

Trains... and Presidents. YA! WOOO!

Wonder who the horrible not showing up guest was.
Will Jeff ever be able to trick Ryan into boarding the train? What does Ryan think of the Trains Domination on Itunes? Will people ever stop thinking up more jokes for my notebook? Does John C Reilly sound like Christopher Walken mixed with Al Pacino? Why am I asking so many questions in one paragraph?

I don't know.

TRAIN!

I say, it's remarkable these times we find ourselves in. Truly, that an endeavour of this calibur shall continue to find its way week after week onto this respectable website is a travesty beyond all machinations of the mind.

Though I must admit, off the record of course, it's a dastardly good time, ahohohohohoh. Toot, toot!

this podcast just might be my favorite part of the week. the two people at the end were amazing, though John C. Reilly sounded a bit more like Christopher Walken, but maybe that's just me. but i was laughing my ass off as soon as that dude started speaking spanish for some reason, good stuff

That's just propaganda designed to get you to doubt the freedom train. NICE TRY RYAN DAVIS!

Jeff said there was no guest, then John C. Reilly turns up and tells us all about My Diary. This has completely changed my life.

This is the first time I've listened to this feature. It sounds like Jeff on the verge of killing himself ranting in a boarded up isolation cell all alone. In other words it's great!
